Not only there, in other countries in Europe too, in Romania they are prosecuting the boss of the biggest software company we have, he has to sell his paintings and artwork for not being arrested(bail).

The usual opinion is that they all got rich with state contracts building stupid and expensive things that young kids would do in no time for nothing.

As a government agency, of course one would not prefer to hire kids, but these countries, they have good IT persons, they have universities that are struggling with funds and finance(as education is for free there and state universities are way beyond the private factories of diplomas that are known as private universities).

Instead of throwing that money, they could have helped education and develop infrastructure in the same time. Nobody has bloody consciousness any more!

Also kinda sounds like Bulgaria. Maybe we should not be thinking in nation-defined terms but rather look for a global, state-independent solution. Bureaucracies tend to be sluggish anyways...

Our government bought two $1M+ websites in the past years. It's not that the websites would pose as a security risk, or store any valuable information, it's just plain corruption ...

500k only for the planing and teaching how to use $1,2M total, for a site what is essentially a video sharing website: https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korm%C3%A1nysz%C3%B3viv%C5%91....

$1,7M for the new site of the chamber of agriculture http://index.hu/gazdasag/2016/02/03/agrarkamara/

fun fact in general, the corruption consumes 50% of the eu funded government investment in Hungary according to Transparency International, which means 11.6 billion euro currently
